Saxon's housing stock in figures
The federal building register lists 1'798 residential buildings with 4'023 dwellings in Saxon. 43% were built before 1980, before serious insulation standards, and 26% are still heated with oil or gas.
With 26% fossil heating and 69.1% electrically heated hot water, many buildings in Saxon will need a new system. Planning ahead avoids deciding under pressure after a breakdown.

Heating and hot water: which energies?
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 3 % | 3.1 % |
| Heating oil | 23 % | 17.7 % |
| District heating | 1 % | 0.3 % |

| Solar thermal | 0 % | 2.7 % |
Each line gives the share of buildings using that energy, separately for heating and for hot water. The two columns do not always reach 100%: some buildings combine two systems, or reported none.

- Boiler (unspecified)27.7 %
- Central electric heating17.8 %

A standard non-condensing boiler is usually older and less efficient.
Renovations, heritage and volumes
For your renovation projects in Saxon, the RegBL figures provide essential benchmarks. With two buildings officially under heritage protection, it is crucial to contact the municipality early to understand potential planning restrictions. The median house volume is 840 m3, which serves as a key indicator for scaling your heating or insulation work. Please note that data coverage remains partial: volume is explicitly measured for only 6 buildings, and information regarding the last renovation year is currently unavailable in the register for the 1798 buildings listed, limiting historical insight into the existing housing stock.
